@she.makes.a.home: Replying to @sylph.made Chiffon is a difficult fabric but it's not impossible! Tip 1: Cut the chiffon fabric larger than your pattern. You can trim it up later. Tip 2: Always use a French seam. Tip 3: Use a small (10 or below) needle OR an embroidery machine needle. Tip 4: Use a lightweight tear-away embroidery backing to stabilize your fabric when doing high detail work. You can gently tear it away later. Tip 5: Iron everything (wool setting recommended, NOT polyester). Note: don't purchase embroidery stabilizer on Amazon unless it is a name brand like Sulky. Make sure what you use is a lightweight stabilizer. #SewingTips #ChiffonFabric #SewingChiffon #FabricTips #SewingEducation

I didn’t know that about needle size! I love French seams. I think my biggest challenge is the puckering. I use regular tissue paper and that seems to help most of the time but I can still improve. I feel validated that it’s a difficult fabric 😩

They used a lot of Calico and Muslin material back in 1840.
